Default My top doesn't hold to the body correctly..

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my top, when I drive on the highway with the top up, the left hook that hold the top to the frame is not tight. So it's not closed perfectly. I think the problem is this piece, the lock assembly.
http://www.courtesyparts.com/73500z-...7-p-17563.html
Do you think this can be fixed without changing the complete piece? Anybody ever got this problem?
The nissan dealer where I live is asking 1500$ for the piece.
If I order the piece from courtesyparts, anybody knows how much time it can take to make it to Canada?

Thanks!

I had a similar problem with mine! Take off the plastic finnisher which covers the operating mechanism and you can adjust how tightly you want the hooks.

With the top down and the tonneau cover up, remove the two plastic pins on the finnisher at the hooks, from there the finnisher just unclips. You will see that there are adjustable tie rods for each of the hooks.

Good luck!
